As it should be.  Bacon, egg, black pudding, toast and a flat white coffee.

---

I think iwould have had a black coffee. :) other than that looks good to me.

This mornings breakfast eggs, tomato and home smoked bacon.

Toast and blackberry jam this morning so no challenge there.  ;D

A late big breakfast/brunch today.  Egg on toast, black pudding, bacon, steak, tomato and chips.

Will be our main meal for the day.

Big meal. We often have our main meal during the day when travelling; time to clean up in the daylight and not going to bed still feeling full.

Jeff

That will stick to the ribs.

Makes sense.

These are a great camping breakfast. 

I bought these four cup pans for size as they fit nicely in my camp oven as well as the Weber BabyQ and great for the two of us.

What I did was mix some mince with herbs and salt and pepper.  I then greased the cups and pressed the mince into them to form a cup then into the oven for ten minutes. At that stage drop an egg on top and back in the oven until the egg is firm.

Maggie tells me we need more greens so served on a bed of spinach wilted in butter.

---

Here is a different version. 

Grate a large potato then squeeze out as much of the juice as you can.  Season with salt, pepper and a little paprika then press into a greased muffin tray to make a basket shape.

Into the oven for ten to 15 minutes until they start to brown up then pop an egg on top and cook until the egg is done to your liking.

Serve with whatever you like.  Ours was a late brunch so served with a salad.

---

hi derek
That looks a very nice meal
regards Kev

HOWZAT!!!

Crusty homemade grain toast, avocado smash, smoked Tassie salmon with a poached egg popped on top.

---

That's got my attention.
Love smoked salmon.

Nice!

Jeff

Blueberry pancakes, whipped cream and maple syrup.

Blueberries were on special @ $2 a punnet.

---

Hi Derk
They look YUM Pancakes are always nice eaten when they
are freshly made.
I just  about to make some but using sultanas
regards Kev ;)

Would have liked to have cooked this outside on the Ozpig over an open fire in my little cast iron skillet but we have had near nine inches of rain in the last week with three of them overnight so all a bit waterlogged.

I saw this concept for a breakfast online.

What I did was peel and cut a red onion into wedges, slice half a dozen flat mushrooms and fried them together in a little olive oil and butter until the onion starting to go soft. 

Dropped in two heaped spoons of chopped garlic (yes I like garlic) from a jar and cooked a few more minutes then seasoned with salt and pepper. 

Then put in one of the little single serve bags of baby spinach and cooked until it was wilted. 

I then made a couple of holes in the mix and dropped in two eggs and put the lid on until the whites were set.

Served with a couple of chunks of toast.

Was very, very delicious.

---

Hi Derek
Well that looks pretty good. I bet it tasted pretty good.

I see you had plenty of rain, but it will soon dry out again. At least the local dam will be happy with the water.
regards Kev ;)

An interesting breakfast; I'm sure it was delicious.

Jeff

Who said you can’t have chippies for breakfast. 🙄

---

No one I know of ;D
regards Kev ;)

Bum burp material there  :D

Went to make brunch before and no eggs in the fridge.  :'(

Oh well, after a bit of a rummage through the freezer, just good old bacon on toast.   [smiley=yellow.gif]

---

Hi Derek
That is a bit of a slip up mate. Well that will give you a great excuse to go down to your new supermarket  :D
regards Kev ;)

ALDI had these 500 gm packs of larger than usual button mushrooms for $4.99 a kilo.  I actually weighed them out of the pack and they actually came in at 680 gms so happy.

Sliced and into a pan with a big knob of butter and some olive oil as well as some salt and pepper to taste and cook with a lid on until the mushies are starting to soften.

Mushrooms are full of water when fresh like this so took the lid off, added a good dash of Worcestershire sauce and letter simmer to reduce the liquid.

Thicken with a little cornflour and served on toast. 

Yum.

---

Hi Derek
That breakfast looks very nice. I bet you enjoy that.
regards Kev. ;)

Double up.

Left over mushrooms from yesterday topped with an egg and of course that yummy homemade bread/toast.

---

Trying out the first Christmas ham. This is the Woolies double smoked that won the award for best tasting supermarket ham.

Topped with a poached egg sprinkled with cracked pepper

---

We have visited a bunch of smokehouses around here to sample their leg ham.

Settled on the ham from the smokers at Mt Pleasant.  Pick it up on the 23rd.

Hi Derek
At least you have a great breakfast.
I cooked ham and eggs (fried) for Lesley and I  this morning
Was at Aldi the other morning and found some Berg's brand.
triple smoked ham. A very nice ham.
regards Kev ;)

What is your opinion of the Woolies one Derek? Was it the $8 kilo or $14 kilo one? Cheers Robert

It is the $14 double smoked one.  Very nice ham indeed.

Was looking at that one thank you

This was the taste test.

Sunday morning brunch.   8-)

---

That would do me.

Well that is brunch over and done with.

Toasted home made bread, smashed avocado, ham off the bone, a slice of my favourite Jarlsberg cheese all topped with a poached egg and a dusting of fresh ground black pepper.

That is it until dinner tonight.

---

I like Jarlsberg.
Have you ever tried Maasdam.
Very similar in style.
Our local Woolworth has it sliced at the deli counter for $20 a kilo.

Nope not tried that one. Must have a look.  Cholesterol prevents me from eating too much cheese.

I must admit I cant remember last time I had breakfast...Ohhhh yahhh was Easter trip last year...hoping to get away this Easter to have breakie then

You are missing out Dave.  :)

Eat your heart out Ronald McDonald.

This is a real bacon and egg made on one of my toasted homemade bread rolls from yesterday without that fake cheese.   8-)

---

A simple breakfast for my Molly a Cheese and Jalapeño chillie omelet.

---

Nice. 

Jalapeño chillies do not like my stomach unfortunately, so would be some finely sliced capsicum for me.

Another easy breakfast, had a avocado which needed using so a simple choice for Molly’s breakfast today.

---

Doesn’t get much better than that for light brekkies.

I use a relatively small flame and keep opening to check. I would say 3 - 4 minutes a side.

This morning.
Breakfast for the wife, a hard day ahead in the office.

Home made baked beans and home made ham, mushrooms in butter and balsamic vinegar, eggs and toast.
Big Breakfast

---

Mmmmmm, that looks good. We haven’t had ours yet.  Might just be Vita Brits here.   :D

Must try Balsamic with mushrooms next time.

Aart, if no Balsamic then Worcestershire Sauce is a good option.  Both give a lovely tang to the mushrooms but not too much though.

Simple one of egg and bacon on toasted Turkish Bread.  No home made bread left so picked this up yesterday.

I do however have a focaccia dough brewing in the fridge.

---

Don’t you just love it when the eggs smile back at you when you are making breakfast.  :D

---

;D

Jeff

well trained cook ;D ;D ;D
Kev ;)

Egg and black pudding on a toasted Turkish roll with extra black pudding on the side.   [smiley=chef.gif]

There is no need to go to Maccas for your bacon and egg muffins when you have the makings at home.  And none of that plastic cheese either.   ;D ;D

---

Well done Derek I wish I could get into that
Yesterday I had dental surgery   cannot eat solids until monday So for the time being I will enjoy looking at your photos
Have a great day
Kev :'(

Looks good Derek. Made with real eggs and real bacon.

Sometimes you just need a bowl of Coco Pops.  ;D

---

Well talk about a simple breakfast  Hope you enjoyed them  ::) ;D ;D
Kev

On a cold winter’s morning a bowl of hot Uncle Toby’s Oats with milk and a sprinkle of brown sugar takes a lot of beating.

---

Hi Derek
Not bad tucker on a cold morning
Kev

Liver and bacon with gravy on a slice of toast

---

Hi Derek
Now that looks pretty good YUM

I tried to get liver the other day, but none in the IGA shop. They normally have liver on the shelf. :(

My IGA is where I get my kidney from these days.  This liver came from Woolies.

Warm enough for breakfast in the outdoor area today.

A simple but delicious late brunch.

Dark crunchy toast.  Scrambled eggs with parsley, a dollop of cream, a grating of parmesan, salt & pepper.  8-)

---

Recently found someone not far from home who has more chooks than he needs.  Result is he is happy to sell the excess eggs for $2 a dozen.

So I have been buying these nice large free range eggs.

Soft boiled eggs and toastie soldiers make a nice brunch.

---

Well who is a lucky boy then  ;D ;D ;D

Regards Kev ;)

A simple brunch just like that.  Toast and sprats.  No butter needed on the bread.

Full of omega 3 oils.   [smiley=chef.gif]

---

Hi Derek
They look pretty good. I think I would prefer them in tomato
sauce
regards Kev ;)

Toast, avocado and sprouts.  Nice and healthy brunch.

I think any vegan would be happy with that.  ;D ;D

My egg man came good again today.  Two dozen at $2 a dozen.  Some of them jumbo size.

---

These were on a half price special at our local Woolies last week.

Nice kippers, two nice fillets in this tin.  Not smoked.

Great on toast for brekkies or brunch as these were.

Oily fish is good for you.

---

Inspired by Kevvie for telling me the tomato sauce flavoured ones are good.

But alas, they only get a 2 out of 10 from me.  The tomato overpowers the flavour of the fish.

Sorry Kevvie.   :)

---

Good day Derek
Yes it comes down to personal taste. ;D :o :o
Kevvie (Kev)

People tell me I have some weird eating habits but I cannot see it myself.  This was breakfast today.

I must admit that in her defence Maggie had a bowl of muesli.  :D

---

Hi Derek
It good when you do not have to share your  breakfast ;D ::)
  YUM. :P
regards Kev ;)

Nothing wield about that.

Easter breakfast.   ::)

---

Simplicity at it’s best.  :)

---

My daily dose of Omega-3 Oils.   :D

I love my smoked sprats.  ::)

---

Good wife up late so just cooked breakfast for her nothing like a good smashed avo and pouched eggs. Cheers Robert

---

A late brunch for Mothers Day.

---

Can a brunch egg jaffle get any better.  8-)

---

Hi Derek
That looks like a nice meal.
Is that the bread you make.
regards Kev ;)

This is Helgas Multigrain. Fits the jaffle iron nicely and makes the best jaffles. The bread crisps nicely.

Trying some of the local stuff and it is pretty darned good.

Just wish the weather would let me make some home made bread.  Times like this I would like an oven in the motorhome.

---

Love it.
Nice generous serve.

We are still enjoying these South Aussie, king sized double yolker eggs.

Seems most Foodland have them down here.

---

that is a good sized egg.

Sunday morning one person breakfast on the Baby Q.  Maggie didn’t want any.

Half of a Turkish roll sprayed liberally with olive oil, two pieces of streaky bacon and two eggs.  Coffee from the onboard espresso machine.   8-)

---

The good things in life are the simplest of them all.

McDonald’s eat your heart out!!!!

A bacon and egg muffin cooked on my new toastie maker.  Haven’t tried hash browns in it yet.  Also my home made espresso is better than theirs.   ::)

---

Derek  Hi mate
That looks very good
I had the same plus a heap of fried tomato
regards Kev ;)

Looks nice Derek. But I would join Kevie for breakfast cos he's having a heap of fried tomato's to go with his. Yum.

How do you two get the tomatoes to stay in the muffin.  :-?

Kevvie's Secret
toast bread   
Roma tomatoes. Sliced long ways and fried
butter toast  put Tomato on toast with worcestershire sauce
the fired egg on top with some worcestershire  sauce
regards Kev :o
Derek  the tomato is fried very well and mushy

Yes, my brain is not ok with this either.    [smiley=chef.gif]

nor mine :o :o ;D ;D

Blueberry punnets were marked down to $2 so what better way to enjoy a late brunch this morning. 

---

Hi Derek
That all looks pretty yum
regards Kev ;)

A touch of heaven to start the day.   :D

Maggie and I love our salmon, raw or cooked in all different ways and particularly enjoy smoked salmon.  When we were last in Tassie we ate a lot of the local stuff.

On a recent shopping foray I spied this pack of New Zealand King Salmon and when I read the packet saw that it was Chinook Salmon as opposed to the Atlantic Salmon from Tasmania.

Today’s breakfast was avo on toast with the salmon and a poached egg on top.

The salmon was more oily than the usual one but the taste was superb and I couldn’t fault it.  I will be heading back for more.

---

I love many, many, many things in life.  Here are just three of them:

I love playing with food
I love eating food
I love a Maccas breakfast when we are travelling

But . . . . I often say to myself when eating out, “I think I can do better than that.”

So, here is my version of a Maccas breakfast cooked in my Breville toaster grill.

Toasted muffin
Home made meat patty
Bacon
Egg
Hash brown

If I would do anything different, next time I will put the hash brown in a little earlier than the rest so it crisps up more.

I give this one a 8.5 out of 10.  :P

---

At the police hq Cafe they had a bacon and egg roll with a hash brown inside the roll. It was my go to on very early starts.
Note to self, start making them at home.

Derek
  would be 10 but I cannot taste it  9.5  ;D ;D

The time I escorted wide loads around S/E Qld we had curfew and had to park up from 6am to 9am re peak hour traffic. Always when to the golden arches (Mcdonalds ) and had a feed of hot cakes YUM Home made  are not the same.
regards Kev ;)

Maggie brought home a dozen eggs from one of the ladies at her craft group and they are very small.

Poached up well on a bit of King Salmon. [smiley=chef.gif]

---

Local IGA has started stocking what they call “Massive Eggs” in a 10 pack.  They are still not as large as the ones we were getting when we were travelling in South Australia.

I wasn’t however surprised to get a double Yorker this morning.   [smiley=chef.gif]

---

Maggie said this morning, how about a cooked breakfast.  Who am I to say no particularly when Woolies is just down the road.

Sourdough toast (I am going to learn to make this one day) bacon, egg, pork chipolata, black pudding, grilled tomato, portobello mushrooms, wilted spinach and baked beans.  Followed by a cup of tea.   ;)

Not sure it belongs here though under “A Simple Breakfast”.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

---

Leftover steak and kidney cottage pie on toast. 

---

HI Derek
Looks a great meal. YUM
Always better the next day. :P
Have a good one. 8-)
regards Kev ;)

Fried egg on toast, black pudding and a coffee.  That’s breakfast. 

---

Weetbix @nd fruit standard for me, cheers Robert

Last nights leftover steak and kidney on toast for breakfast.

---

Hi Derek
What can I say. Steak and Kidney as leftovers are still one
of the best meals ever.

Have actually lost a few kilos.  :)

A pair of grilled kippers for a late brunch.  Eaten with fresh white bread and a drizzle of lime juice.

Delicious.   :P

My English Heritage coming out.

---

Leftover from dinner yesterday was a big fat pork sausage with thick onion gravy.  One each for breakfast.   :P

Winter seems to have gone and we can breakfast outside again. 

---

This’ll do me.

Slice of toast, fried mashed potato patty with a fried egg on top with a fresh brewed coffee.   :D

---

If you are going to have avocado and salmon with a poached egg make it a good one.  Home made of course.

---

Hi Derek
Looks like a good simple breakfast.
Did you use any of the tiny avocados
Kev

Kevvie wrote on Apr 13^th, 2025 at 12:14pm:

Not yet.  Should start ripening in a couple of days.

Something different today.  We really do love our salmon in all forms although a bit wary on sashimi or raw as have had a few too many not so fresh ones.

This is a new brand today from Woolies that I have never seen before and was 40% off.  It isn’t Tasmanian but Norwegian.  Four nice thick slices in a 100gram pack.

10/10 from me and Maggie.

---

I have an Aldi smoked salmon on bagels with spreadable cream cheese, couple of times a week.
The thinner the slice, more the flavour.

Home made sourdough toast, home cured bacon and fresh free range eggs from a friend.

Doesn’t get much better.

---

Hell I will have to finish cleaning up and get the cooking area going again. Cheers

Just finished a late brunch.  Pancakes, cream, blueberrys, raspberrys and maple syrup.  Better than any cafe.  😊

---

Easter Friday is a time when we eat fish so what better way to start the weekend than with a brace of grilled Scottish Smoked Kippers.

---

Home cured and smoked bacon, home made Italian chipolata sausages, free range home grown eggs from a friend and Lockyer Valley grown tomatoes.

That’ll do me until dinner.   ::)

---

Hi Derek
You make a pretty good breakfast
regards  Kev

Mate if I had a breakfast that big I'd only want a Vegemite sandwich for tea that night.

Usually once a week we have a breakfast fry up.

Home made bacon, home made sausage, home made bread, eggs from my neighbours yard (Maggie wanted poached today, local Lockyer grown tomatoes and commercial black pudding.

I give that black pudding a 4 out of 10.  One day shall get to make my own.

---

Nice stack of pancakes/hotcakes for brunch today with real maple syrup, cream and blueberries.

Been lots of blueberries around this season.

---

Good selection mate cheers
